Progress Towards Trapped Electron Qubits

ORAL

Abstract

Trapped electrons emerged as an attractive novel approach to quantum computing. This innovative approach offers advantages of long coherence times of trapped ions. By utilizing the spin states of electrons as qubits, we can effectively mitigate the risk of state leakage, and potentially achieve significantly faster quantum gates.

Here we are going to present recent advancement including our success in trapping electrons in room temperature using a Paul trap. We attained over 60% maximum detection probability for trapped electrons and we observed trap lifetimes of 5 milliseconds in our system. In the future, we plan to load electrons in a 3D-printed trap at cryogenic temperatures to read out their quantum spin state.
